High Five for Friday!

1. The first highlight of my week was that I replaced my old "Wet to Straight" straightener (that really didn't do much for me anyway), for this amazing GVC straightener that my friend introduced me to! Sally's was having a sale, so it was perfect timing :)

2. Second highlight is ongoing from last week's H54F post, I am LOVING this new Daniel study. Although it's hard to make time for the homework, especially this week at work, I have already been blessed by just one week of hard-core Daniel study.

3. About this week at work....I am the high school administrative assistant for my church's student ministry, and this weekend is our biggest event of the year! It's called Freedom: Undeniable (it's essentially the largest DNow weekend you will ever see)!

We have about 900 kids registered and ready for the weekend to start tonight. Although it has probably been one of the most exhausting weeks of my life, I am so pumped to see what God is going to do.

This is a picture of me last night after registration craziness :)

4. This product is extremely popular in my area right now, I had to see what all the hub-bub was about, I'll keep you posted if it changes my life :)

Also, a side note -- never "stress-peel" your gel nail manicure off because then you will need to paint your nails hot pink so no one will notice how damaged your nails are :)

5. This has hands down been the highlight of my week. I've been wearing my bunny slippers to work and it has just made me a happier person.

We wanted to wait a few weeks to go to the OBGYN after
finding out we were pregnant again. The visits to the doctor in early pregnancy
have always caused me such anxiety; the unknowns, the inconclusiveness. So I
waited. For about 4 weeks I was able to enjoy my pregnancy in ignorant - although nauseous - bliss.
I had some blood work done about a week before our first
sonogram, my HCG levels came back extremely high. Our first sonogram confirmed
what I already knew in my heart to be true.
Twins. Two babies. TWO. BABIES.
I knew it all along. I had a feeling early in my pregnancy
that there was more than one baby growing inside me.
But the sonogram was not all happy news.
We saw the first baby right away with a relatively slow
heart rate of 89 bpm, but it was strong, clearly seen and measured. The
technician asked about my ovulation dates and cautiously noticed that the baby
was measuring small and two weeks off. She was able to get a great picture of
the first baby for us.
Initially …

"5 positive pregnancy tests. 2 healthy babies. 2
miscarriages. 1 complete unknown.There is this misconception in our faith that if
we learn the lessons the Lord would have us learn in our pain, that we can
cross that hardship off the list and never have to walk that road again. That
if we walk around loudly enough in the victory of healing and acceptance that
the Lord would not allow the same pain to repeat itself. After all, why would a
good God heal us only to rip open the wound and leave us hemorrhaging faith all
over again?" I wrote these words two weeks ago; a couple weeks after we found out we were unexpectedly pregnant, one day before finding out that we would most likely be losing another baby in early miscarriage. The night that I saw that second line on the pregnancy test, I was honestly upset. I had no intention of getting pregnant, in fact it was my plan to not get pregnant this year. With the knowledge of every previous pregnancy has been excitement, planning and…

I have been called an emotional person.
Ironically mostly by people who do not emote or are
uncomfortable with emotions, even their own. Being called "emotional"
does not typically induce a heartfelt "thank you".And yet, I am starting to learn that if I believe that God can redeem all things
for His glory - then even my emotions can be used for the glory of God. So
being emotional is actually one of my strengths!
One of the verses that I have seen people use to dismiss or
suppress their emotions is Jeremiah 17:9 "The
heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand
it?".
So if the heart is deceitful, does that mean that it is
ALWAYS deceitful? Does that mean that it is unredeemable?
Are all emotions produced from the heart?
Be careful. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water
here.
I think one of the biggest mistakes that we can make here, is to
equate our emotions with our hearts. Yes, sometimes an emotion starts …
